LA Light / Time Lapse Video

From one, Colin Rich, a passion project of sorts, is a time lapse video that showcases the sometimes dismissed and buried beauty of Los Angeles. Cinematography, direction, and editing by Colin Rich. Song by Cinematic Orchestra cinematicorchestra.com.

I sought out to capture the electric radiance of Los Angeles at night.

It took me 6 months of on and off shooting to finish this project and I’ve learned a couple things along the way.

First off, LA might be the entertainment capital of the world, but it sure is difficult to shoot around downtown without having homeland security officers, police, or security take notice and harass you. Know your shooting rights!

Shooting time lapses is a labor of love and a study in patience.

This video is dedicated to the memory of my Grandmother, Mary Johnson who passed away after battling cancer. She spent most of her life bettering the lives of others and was the kindest person I’ve ever known.
